Guardian: Reports the following from the Chilcot inquiry in to the Iraq War, " Chilcot inquiry into Iraq war set to publish findings in new year..Tony Blair prepares for career-defining moment as Sir John Chilcot agrees compromise over George Bush letters ".
Lets Get Real:
On the whole this blog supports the release of the private communication between 10 Downing St and the Bush White House, to many people its to late, they have convicted former Labour PM Tony Blair of being a War Criminal, this blog supported the Iraq War and still does, only cowards run away from their own opinion. Lets recall it was after 9/11, all the main intelligence networks thought Iraq had WMD, after 9/11 and the death of nearly three thousand the Bush Oval was going to take action over the perceived threat of Iraq, the Bush Oval did give Tony Blair the chance to back out, but to his credit former PM Blair stuck with the President, it is easy to be friends when the issues do not matter, its tougher when its a matter of life and death. At the end of day the reason this blog supports the release of these private letters etc is to allow for a complete history of Iraq to be understood, to understand the good points and bad points. Tony Blair thought he was doing the right thing, and who is to say he was wrong, looking back is easy, making the tough calls at the moment it is needed is harder, this blog takes it hat off to Mr Blair, he was a friend to have when your in a political bunker, he does not run away from his friends.
